etrailer service was terrific. They even sent the product by expedited shipping when I only purchased regular shipping. Everything arrived in great shape and was easy to install. I'm heading off today to pick up some lumber with it.30706

Ask the Experts about this Thule Hitch Cargo Carrier


  • Bike Rack for use with Thule Goalpost Load Bar
  • I apologize, but at this time there are not any products available that would allow you to use the Thule Goalpost Load Bar in conjunction with a bike rack. The available bike racks have no way of being mounted to the Goalpost without having too much Tongue Weight.

  • What is the Weight Capacity of Thule Goalpost Hitch Mounted Load Bar
  • The maximum load weight for the Thule Goalpost TH997 is 165 pounds. If you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch and will be using an adapter, make sure that the combined weight of the goalpost and the load on it does not exceed your tongue weight rating on the hitch or the vehicle. I have included a link to page on hitch classes if you are unsure of what class your hitch is.

  • Thule Goal Post Load Bar and Cross Bars for 2007 Explorer Sport Trac with Factory Roof Rails
  • The Thule Goal Post includes a 58 inch load bar. This entire width is usable, but if the included load stops are used, the end caps on the load bars will decrease the overall width by approximately 1-1/2 inches per side. You did not mention how may cross bars you were wanting to use on top of your Sport Trac. We offer a Thule Crossroad System, part # TH45050 that includes two 50 inch long cross bars, and the four locking feet that strap the bars to your existing roof rack. If you are only

  • How Can I Use Hitch Mounted Kayak Rack Thule # TH997 and Tow A Trailer
  • I have a solution for you to use the Thule Goalpost Hitch Mounted Load Bar, part # TH997, and tow a trailer. You will need to use a dual hitch receiver like the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, part # D210, which has a 2 inch receiver that will allow you to use the Thule Goalpost, and still hookup to a trailer. The Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, part # D210, has a 2-1/4 inch drop, if you need more of a drop. You will need to measure to see how much of a drop you will need (see ball mount FAQ). I

  • Can Thule Goalpost Hitch Load Bar # TH997 Be Used in the Front of 2005 Dodge Dakota To Haul Kayaks
  • To install the Thule Goalpost Hitch Load Bar, part # TH997, to the front of your 2005 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab, you will need a front hitch like the Curt 2 Inch Front Hitch, part # 31228. I am including links to the installation instructions on the Curt front hitch and a video review of the Thule Goalpost load bar.

  • Can the Thule Goalpost Mount on the Front of a 2010 Ford F20 Super Duty Regular Cab
  • To use the Thule Goalpost, # TH997, on the front of your 2010 Ford F250 Super Duty, you will need a front mounted hitch like the Curt Front Hitch, # C31008. This will provide a hitch opening to support the Goalpost. The support straps can also be secured to your tow hooks on the front of your truck. I have attached the installation instructions for the front hitch for you to check out. The Goalpost load support should not interfere with air flow very much since the only part of the load supp
